An acquired taste often refers to an appreciation for a food or beverage that is unlikely to be enjoyed by a person who has not had substantial exposure to it, usually because of some unfamiliar aspect of the food or beverage, including a strong or strange odor (e.g. stinky tofu), taste (such as bitter teas or hot spices), or appearance. Acquired taste may also refer to aesthetic tastes, such as taste in music or other forms of art. The process of acquired taste looks very much like a form of adaptive preference formation. An individual deliberately changes preferences in order to make them more compatible with some situation. Read more here.

In my own words, it's basically going against the grain, which is an idiomatic expression.
